I believe there should be room for both classic traditional and more contemporary style portraits, but I find it hard to accept that they are put up against each other. Nothing is too old fashioned nor too modern. What counts is that they are created honestly, and not primary for the news headlines.
Though I also believe that portraits built on the classical tradition should not be judged along with modernist
style portraits. It does`nt make sense for classical music to be set up against pop music in a competition. Its impossible as I see it.
